Spreading the Shamrocks for MDA

Posted on: Friday, March 22, 2013

Tabb High School DECA participated in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Shamrock sale to help raise money for children with Muscular Dystrophy.

The expenses associated with attendance can be a burden to the already stretched budgets of the families with these children. DECA hopes to make that a little easier with this year's fundraiser. Shamrocks were sold the week leading up to St. Patrick's Day.
